If you have a wall or fence that you do not like, plant climbers to mask its appearance. These versatile plants can grow over fences to enhance the fence's appearance. Often, climbers grow quickly, so you'll get the effect you want by the time the season changes. They also have been known to grow through existing trees or shrubs, or can be easily taught to cover any size arbor. Some may need to be attached to a support, and others will attach themselves to any surface using their twining stems or tendrils. A few good choices are climbing roses, wisteria, jasmine, honeysuckle and clematis.
